Outcomes of a Structured Olfactory and Gustatory Rehabilitation Program in Children with Post-COVID-19 Smell and Taste Disturbances.

In early 2020, reports emerged linking CoV disease 2019 (COVID-19) to olfactory and gustatory disturbances. These disturbances could be attributed to virus-induced damage to olfactory neurons or immune responses, thereby affecting sensory functions.
